Yes, the food is great. Its art, really. Beautiful presentations. But you pay for a full priced entree ($14-$18 per plate) and end up getting about 5 bites. Our soup was served in a cup the size of a shot glass. But the real motivation for me to write a review was the absurd attitude we got from the cook. We sat up at the bar and watched he and another guy prepare the food, which was a treat. Both cooks were very busy. My girlfriend decides she would like some olive oil for her bread. There happened to be a bottle practically touching her bread plate, albeit on the cooks side of the bar. Well, it seemed innocent enough...so she poured some on her bread plate to not bother the busy cooks. WELL, were we mistaken! Once the cook saw she had olive oil on her plate, he gave her the most 'you just really made a bad move' look I've ever seen! He then reprimanded us and told us that if the chef was here, he would have asked us to leave. (Are these guys forgetting who is keeping them in business?!) Anyway, he then proceeded to take away her bread plate with the olive oil on it....need I say more?! Crazy! We certainly wont be giving them our business ever again. There is plenty other great food in Seattle.
Pros: The food is presented like art and tastes great.
Cons: The attitude of the cook was atrocious, and you dont get much at all for what you pay for.
